Verdict

Miss Pernickety made her debut in a strong maiden point at Boulta and should have come on enough to get competitive here under Jamie Codd. She looks certain to go well though the vote has to go to MINELLA MELODY, who attracted strong support on her debut at the same track and never looked in any danger. The third has won subsequently so Henry De Bromhead's mare looks the one to beat. Her stable companion Full Time Score made a mistake that put paid to his chances when odds-on at Knockanard just over a year ago and a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Saint Benedict, who justified support on his debut at Rathcannon and was there with a chance when unseating at Nenagh last month.
